Car

[Paddy]

I went from a 51 plate Saab with only 120k on the clock and a full Saab City London service history to my new car and I can tell you even with all the servicing you can get it's not as nice as a comfy warm new car when you are driving up the m4 in the rain.

I get an extra warm comfy feeling knowing that there is virtually no depreciation and the capital is invested elsewhere.

You only live once.

You’re right. I will use the money saved to pay for a blow job with a hooker when driving along the M4

The depreciation is horrific. As soon as you leave the showroom you are down 20%(okay - 16.666% to shut up *******) as no-one will pay you back the VAT.

And whenever you leave it anywhere you worry.

The question is the new car ££££ much nicer than your Saab? Yes, my Mum's new Benz was a good degree nicer than either of the two smokers I've had, but not tens of thousands nicer. Depends on the amount of spare cash you have I guess.

That is the thing. I have heard of a Land Rover owner who buys a brand new one every 3 months. Never cleans it or anything.

A friend's dad drivers round the shadier parts of south London (or at least what used to be) collecting his rent money in the most filthy lime green Bentley Continental GT known to man. It has all the accoutrements of a builder's van.

It's depreciation of ones life one should worry about ...

That's the thing - bright colour can help prevent accident as the car is more visible than black (that I had).

When I say filthy, I'm not talking about the colour, the car is a total mess. Both the colour and its state are a deliberate two fingers up.
